This dish from the region of konkan, mainly prepared by the Gowd Saraswath Brahmin communities. The main ingredient used in this dish are potatoes and asafoetida. You can serve this curry as a side dish or you can also have along with steamed rice. This is one of my favorite curry and I always like to prepare.

Preparations
:
- Peel off the potatoes and chop into cubes. Wash well and keep aside.
- Prepare the masala for the curry by blending grated coconut, roasted dry red chillies, tamarind paste and water.
- Add salt while blending. We need a thick masala so do not add excess water. Place the masala in a bowl.
- In a deep vessel add potatoes and ground masala and cook in a medium flame. Adjust the consistency of the curry by adding water.
- Let it cook for 10-15 minutes and turn off the flame. Remove from the heat and add asafoetida and oil to the curry.
- Mix well and serve as a side dish for lunch/dinner or with the steamed rice or with dosa/Idli.
